Hi!
I am new to web programming. I am now designing my first website.
Everything went fine except the mail form page.
I know that i have to use a cgi script to make it work. At the moment i have any knowledges concerning CGI or PHP.
To complete the mail form i have to learn CGI. I want to know the fastest way to learn to learn CGI to make my mail form works.
And if someone know where i can get a CGI script for mail form, it would be helpful.
Thanks for taking your time to read this.
Regards, Spider

Well, you dont have to learn CGI. You can use a simple PHP mailer. Its called " DynaForm" Just go to google, do a search and download. Its very easy to use and simple to configure. Good luck.

Thanks Rat. DynaForm worked like a charm.
I have spent more than a week trying to find a way to learn cgi just for the mail form, and with DynaForm it took less than 5 minutes to make my form works.
This site is the best.

Does dynaform require your server to have cgi or pearl? I am using a free service that does not supply either of these scripts. I need away around this dilemma.... ALL suggestions are appreciated :?

No it doesnt. You only need to have PHP4 installed on your server.

And PHP is something I can install onto my server? Will they ban me for putting it there?

Yes you can install it on your server. But most servers come with it. If yours doesnt have it, make sure you ask your webhost if its alright too install it.
